Take meds for your blood pressure. U'll live longer... LOL This link https://www.engadget.com/2010/10/22/sharps-ultraslim-bd-av70-blu-ray-bdxl-player-hitting-japan-so/ was buried in this https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/388243-BluRay-Player-with-BDXL-Support thread. I remember it now. I discounted it immediately after realizing the $1000+ USD price tag. [Probably why I forgot about it...] U could build a PC for less $$ that would do the same thing and more.Post #27. Don't get lazy reading and understanding or I my blood pressure will rise.
EDIT: Rolling Stones: You can't always get what you want...
I forgot something. LG claims that do not sell any players that support BD-XL.

@coopervid I wanted to post this here first because we talked about this. i.e. Compressing a full UHD to a BD50 using CloneBD. I had a rip of "Bumblebee" on my data drive to test. [I had already tried burning to a BD-XL and we know what happened there. i.e. Almost no players support it]
I was trying to create a BD50 size ISO. Here is the error on screen in CloneBD:
The log file is attached. I have no idea whatsoever at to what is happening here. I just expected an overnight process. Are there some hardware requirements that I am not aware?
EDIT: If a MOD thinks that this best posted elsewhere, would https://forum.redfox.bz/forums/anydvd-hd-uhd-only.105/ be the place?
What are you using to play the BD-XLs?
Also, are you compressing UHDs to BD50 and having playback issues as well?
@coopervid claimed that this method worked for him?
@testiles I think this, https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/388243-BluRay-Player-with-BDXL-Support, was already given here. Some folks there claim that this player works for them. Maybe they have not watched from beginning to end on all discs either?
Ok, thx, but that's a lot of question marks...I'm not having player problems.
I'm having problems with the burn of some of my discs.
Would things improve if I tried a different brand of disc? Maybe.
Could there be a setting I can make with ImgBurn that would make better discs? Perhaps.
It's not worth it to me to stress over it or even to investigate further since I don't do many disc backups anyway.
So I'm good sticking to .iso's.
But thanks for the suggestion.

Ok, thx, but that's a lot of question marks...
Hmm, a bit off topic, or maybe not... The idea of having a bunch of very large, very expensive hard drives around [internal or external] is why I decided not rip to ISO and play on my PC.You're right.
I will look into this eventually. But right now have more pressing concerns.
One of which is a fairly new but full 8T USB Hard Drive of media that completely crashed.
For now, issues with disc burning, which as I said I don't do much, will have to take a back burner (he he, no pun intended).

[This might seem confusing after all this time] I finally bought a new PC. This, https://www.microcenter.com/product/617582/powerspec-g705-gaming-computer, is it with an additional 1TB SSD that I am using for data.Less than an hour.
